SwinCCIR: Deep Learning for Compton Camera Imaging
Analysis
This paper introduces SwinCCIR, an end-to-end deep learning framework for reconstructing images from Compton cameras. Compton cameras face challenges in image reconstruction due to artifacts and systematic errors. SwinCCIR aims to improve image quality by directly mapping list-mode events to source distributions, bypassing traditional back-projection methods. The use of Swin-transformer blocks and a transposed convolution-based image generation module is a key aspect of the approach. The paper's significance lies in its potential to enhance the performance of Compton cameras, which are used in various applications like medical imaging and nuclear security.
